معرفی
Steven T. Garren serves as PAC Chair and Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at James Madison University (JMU), where he has been employed since 2000. Currently holding the rank of Professor, he previously advanced from Associate Professor (2000-2006) to full Professor in 2006 after receiving tenure in 2003.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Statistics (1994), University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
- M.S. in Statistics (1992), University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
- B.S. in Computer Science & Statistics, Mathematics, Physics (1989), Roanoke College
Research Interests: Dr. Garren specializes in nonparametric statistics, sample surveys, order restricted inference, Markov chain Monte Carlo, and statistical computing. His methodological work addresses complex estimation challenges in constrained parameter spaces and survey data analysis, with emphasis on computational solutions for variance estimation and bias correction.
Publications Trend: His 2009-2014 publications reveal consistent focus on delete-a-group jackknife methodology for survey statistics, demonstrating expertise in small-sample bias correction and effective degrees of freedom calculation. Complementary work on order-restricted exponential parameter estimation highlights his dual strength in theoretical development and practical statistical computing applications.
